“…The results overlap with the time constraints hypothesis, i.e., under high human disturbance study animals engage in other activities (feeding/ foraging, December 2022 | Volume 37 | Issue 2 | Page 102 begging behavior) reducing the time investment on social activities (grooming, huddling, playing behavior) (Marty et al, 2019). Beyond feeding, animals groomed more during high disturbance than during low or no disturbance, which may be due to attempts to avoid aggression by highranking animals and relieve stress through grooming (Lee et al, 2021). Under the medium disturbance condition, langurs watched the visitor's majority of the time.…”

of various types, such as playing, huddling, sexual behavior, affiliative behavior (grooming), aggressive behavior, etc. (Kaplan et al., 1991;Khan, 2013). Socio-ecological and hormonal factors are the major drivers of sex-difference in social behavior performance among a wide range of animal species (Meredith, 2013). Social behavior (e.g., grooming) is performed for strong bonding among the group members (social bonding hypothesis) (Arlet et al., 2015), cope with stress (social stress hypothesis) (Marty et al., 2019), and as an indication of willingness to interact (immediate investment hypothesis) (Allanic et al., 2020).

“…1). Allogrooming involves a minimum of two members of the same species (a groomer and recipient) (Lee et al 2021 ) and can be both unidirectional and/or mutual. In chimpanzees, polyadic grooming is also common, occurring among triads or larger chains (Goodall 1986 ; Nakamura 2000 ; Girard-Buttoz et al 2020 ).…”

“… 2016 ). However, allogrooming also has costs, including depletion of energetic budgets and opportunity costs (Dunbar 1992 ), potential proximity to aggressive conspecifics (Schino and Alessandrini 2015 ), and exposure to ectoparasites and infective stage endoparasites (Hernandez and Sukhdeo 1995 ; Veà et al 1999 ; MacIntosh et al 2012 ; Russell and Phelps 2013 ; Lee et al 2021 ). While it is likely that interspecific grooming bouts also have benefits and costs, there are also likely fewer mutualistic advantages.…”

While cases of interspecies grooming have been reported in primates, no comprehensive cross-site review has been published about this behavior in great apes. Only a few recorded observations of interspecies grooming events between chimpanzees and other primate species have been reported in the wild, all of which have thus far been in Uganda. Here, we review all interspecies grooming events recorded for the Sonso community chimpanzees in Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda, adding five new observations to the single, previously reported event from this community. A new case of interspecies play involving three juvenile male chimpanzees and a red-tailed monkey is also detailed. All events took place between 1993 and 2021. In all of the six interspecific grooming events from Budongo, the ‘groomer’ was a female chimpanzee between the ages of 4–6 years, and the ‘recipient’ was a member of the genus Cercopithecus. In five of these events, chimpanzee groomers played with the tail of their interspecific grooming partners, and except for one case, initiated the interaction. In three cases, chimpanzee groomers smelled their fingers after touching distinct parts of the receiver’s body. While a single function of chimpanzee interspecies grooming remains difficult to determine from these results, our review outlines and assesses some hypotheses for the general function of this behavior, as well as some of the costs and benefits for both the chimpanzee groomers and their sympatric interspecific receivers. As allogrooming is a universal behavior in chimpanzees, investigating the ultimate and proximate drivers of chimpanzee interspecies grooming may reveal further functions of allogrooming in our closest living relatives, and help us to better understand how chimpanzees distinguish between affiliative and agonistic species and contexts.
